-* GnuPG 1.4 and GnuPG 2.0
-
- GnuPG 2.0 is a newer version of GnuPG with additional support for
- S/MIME. It has a different design philosophy that splits
- functionality up into several modules. Both versions may be
- installed simultaneously without any conflict (gpg is called gpg2 in
- GnuPG 2). In fact, the gpg version from GnuPG 1.4 is able to make
- use of the gpg-agent as included in GnuPG 2 and allows for seamless
- passphrase caching. The advantage of GnuPG 1.4 is its smaller size
- and no dependency on other modules at run and build time.
+* Installing GnuPG 2.2. and GnuPG 1.4
+
+ GnuPG 2.2 is a current version of GnuPG with state of the art
+ security design and many more features. To install both versions
+ alongside, it is suggested to rename the 1.4 version of "gpg" to
+ "gpg1" as well as the corresponding man page. Newer releases of the
+ 1.4 branch will likely do this by default. In case this is not
+ possible, the 2.2 version can be installed under the name "gpg2"
+ using the configure option --enable-gpg-is-gpg2.
